A few years ago, before I was involved with Stampin' Up! I went to a Rubber Stamp show in Pennsauken, NJ. I was introduced to a cool stamp company called Inky Antics. While I was at the show I came across this box template stamp. I used their 5 x 5" box template shown here to create this Valentine's Day Goodie box. I stamped the image three times. Twice on the Pink Pirouette card stock to create the box itself and once on the Candy Lane designer series paper to create a cover (see pictures below). I followed the instructions on the stamp to score and cut the box after I stamped it using the Love You Much stamp set.
I used a piece of the Candy Lane dsp on the inside of the box and adhered a small piece of acetate to the opening of the box.
In this picture I filled the Goodie Box with Red Hots. You know, that hot cinnamon candy. This picture shows the box without the cover.
You can fill the box with any small size candy and decorate it any way you wish. For example you could put those candy hearts with the messages. The options are endless.

Here is the goodie box without the candy.
This are easy to make and don't take long at all. Make a bunch for the class or gifts for friends.
Here is a picture with the cover on it. I used dsp but you could also use the card stock.
On the inside of the cover you could add a poem.
Cupid Poop
I didn't get you flowers,
and chocolates wouldn't do.
The sweet romantic cards weren't right !
Hmm.. what should I do?
So I found you something special
its been around since the start,
I found you something extremely rare,
tiny pieces of CUPID HEART!
I hope you liked the project!
